9.0 SAFETY GUARDS

Tools with moving blades have a guard over the moving parts. The guard is

secured  with  screws  which  can  be  removed  to  clear  debris  during

maintenance. Replace guards after maintenance.

10.0 MAINTENANCE

PRIODIC MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Table 10.0

10.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
10.1.1 CHECK THE BLADES

The use of damaged blades decreases the cutting efficiency of the tool and can overheat the tool.

Replace the blades when they become worn, cracked, or gouged. (Consult AMKUS Rescue Systems)

Check the torque on the cutter & combination tool pivot bolt monthly. Proper pivot bolt torque is 140 ft-lbs (190 N-m).

10.1.2 HYDRAULIC MAINTENANCE

Inspect the tool  and  hydraulic hoses for leaks. Inspect the hydraulic hoses  and  couplers for debris, damage, and  proper  operation.

Replace any damaged components. Remove the tool from use if damaged. Contact your local dealer or amkus.com for repairs. 

10.1.3 LUBRICATION

Cutter blades, combi blades, spreader arms, links, and pins are lubricated with white lithium grease. Annual re-lubrication per Service

Procedures is recommended for average service conditions. More frequent lubrication may be required for severe or frequent usage

conditions.

10.1.4 HANDLE LIGHT BATTERY REPLACEMENT

To replace the batteries:

 

1. Remove the lid screws with a 3 mm hex key. 

2. Remove and replace the 2 AA batteries in the battery holder. 

3. Use the hex key to tighten the lid screws back into position.
